Recently we have read about the improvements that will be made at Market Square-Patten Parkway since we weren't sure where this was we did a Google search. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in Hamilton County on May 1, 1980. After seeing the images I knew we have driven by many,many times but didn't know anything about the area. I always thought it looked like a quaint small town street in the middle of downtown. I took my camera and stopped in one morning to get a few pictures.

There is a Memorial in the middle of the Parkway for the men who died from Hamilton County during World War II. When I saw this I remembered my aunt telling me about my uncle's name being on a Memorial in downtown Chattanooga. I don't think she told me where it was. Looking down the names I saw my uncle Eugene D. Kelly

I'm so happy that I now know where the memorial is located and can pass this information on to my children.

About Me

Welcome

Welcome to Genealogy Fun! On the side bar you will find the Surnames I’m researching. Most of the families I’m researching were from TENNESSEE, ALABAMA, and GEORGIA and a few Texas, Florida, Oregon, and Virginia. I can’t remember an exact time when I became interested in family history; it just always seemed to be there. Listening to family stories told by parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles was always fun for me. My wish is that I could remember them all now. Genealogy isn’t boring in fact it is very exciting and my hope is to show others how exciting with my blog. Finding out where your ancestors lived, things they did and when possible what they looked like is a truly exciting hobby. I want to record stories, information and pictures that I’ve been able to collect. Connecting with other people researching the same families would be great. I feel that I’m such a beginner but I’m willing to share any information I have.
